Thread: PRIME MIKE TYSON VS MUHAMMED ALI

You know the men,

over 12 rounds of boxing,

in their prime,

using COMMON training techniques.

Who would win?

I say Mike Tyson. He had good head movement and could get on the inside quickly and work the body/head with his power. He was a better puncher than
Joe Fraizer who didn't fair too badly against Ali.

I really hate to be a party pooper and all that....but we had one of these threads just a while back and it didnt end for about 17 years and it really got taken as far as it could go.

I say Tyson decisions him, but really its all been argued before...

I can argue until im blue in the face but to keep repeating is gotdam boring! You are a Tyson man and so am I and so we will keep on agreeing. But for this thread, I will opt out. Others can perpetuate another same styled thread if they will....

Ali in his prime would've run circles around Tyson, just like he did to everyone else. I don't think there's much for discussion here. Ali in his prime was the most physically gifted and mentally tough heavyweight of all-time, Tyson was not.

pretty much agree there

Tyson's prime was very short 2 years maybe,, when he was fight 4 5 fights a year ! when he had the right support system in place. he would beat anyone in any era . Tyson was a finally tuned machine once upon a time .

i did see tyson struggle against tony tucker first 4 rounds and tucker won 4 rounds against prime tyson by sticking and moving but he couldnt keep it up a prime ali with much better footwork and alot quicker than tucker would dance for 12 rounds winning a decision

So was Ali.

no doubt !

This is how I see the fight going.

Rd1-4. Ali moves around opponant (like against Liston) and check opponants movement while jabbing and jab/crossing. Tyson gets inside ocassionally and starts throwing bombs to the body (like against Spinks).

Rd5-8. Ali scoring with the jab and using his reflexes to avoid Tyson. Tyson sometimes just following Ali losing points. Tyson catches Ali on the robes a couple of times and unloads.

Rd9-12. Tyson starts increasing his punching volume like against Bruno and wears Ali down. Ali takes the punishment and makes it to the end.

Tyson wins on points as the fight turns to his advantage mid-way through.

i disagree it would be tyson that wears down the stretch ali had best stamina in hw history

2 me prime Ali is 1966 to when he went to jail. Nobody could touch him. Not even the Tyson that KO'd Spinks.

ali beat liston -foreman and shavers--ali would b able 2 take any punch tyson can throw at him--ali would make tysons face look like it went through a meat grinder--b4 the fight ali would play with tysons head-phycing him out--which would b easy since tyson was mentally weak--

ali by ud or late ko
